Frequently asked questions

What are the three rules of robotic process automation?

  1. The purpose of RPA robots is to augment and empower the existing human workforce.
  2. When it comes to RPA tools, one size doesn’t fit all. Tool selection will come down to use cases, requirements, and commercials.
  3. The learning and development need of an RPA robot is to the same degree as a human employee.

What is the difference between robotic process automation and artificial intelligence?

Robotic process automation (RPA) is a software robot that imitates human activities. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the pretence of human intelligence by 

machines. RPA is associated with 'doing' whereas AI is concerned with 'thinking”' RPA tends to be more process-centric while AI is data-driven. RPA and AI are different ends of a continuum called intelligent automation.

What is the difference between scripting/macros and robotic process automation?

Many people make the error of referring to RPA as a glorified macro. While there are similarities, an RPA software is much more powerful than a simple macro script. The use of RPA provides the unparalleled power to integrate multiple, disparate IT systems at the user interface layer. Most of the enterprise automation tools emphasise governance, which isn't something you get with macros or scripts.
 

What specific benefits does RPA offer to Australian businesses?

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) helps Australian organisations boost productivity by automating repetitive, time-consuming tasks across finance, operations, and customer support. With Datacom’s solutions, businesses can reduce manual errors, cut costs, scale operations quickly, and ensure compliance with evolving Australian regulations. RPA also frees up your team to focus on higher-value work, leading to better customer experiences and improved employee satisfaction.

What distinguishes RPA from traditional automation methods?

RPA stands out because it can mimic human actions at the user interface level, allowing automation of existing processes without complex system changes or deep IT integration. This makes RPA faster and more flexible to deploy compared to traditional automation, which usually needs custom programming and long project timelines. Datacom’s RPA solutions are designed to be agile and managed by business teams, not just IT specialists.

What are the main challenges organisations face when implementing RPA?

Common hurdles include choosing the right processes to automate, change management, data quality, integration with legacy systems, and measuring return on investment. Datacom helps customers overcome these challenges with expert consulting, clear governance frameworks, and ongoing support—ensuring RPA aligns with your organisational goals and delivers sustainable results.

Which industries in Australia have seen the most success with RPA implementation?

RPA adoption is strong across Australian finance, insurance, healthcare, government, and logistics sectors. Success stories span automated claims processing in insurance, regulatory compliance in banking, faster order processing in logistics, and streamlined administrative workflows in government and healthcare. Datacom brings proven experience supporting Australian customers across these sectors with scalable, secure RPA solutions.
